Booked by 3 families in South San Francisco, CA

Hello, I am Yasemin. I am 30 years old. I am from Turkey and I am Chemical Engineer. I was an au pair for 2 years and still taking care of kids. I had experiences with toddlers and infants for 2 years. I took care of 4 years old boy, 5 years old girls, and older kids. I love to spend time outside, to go walking, do puzzle, do art&crafts, dance. I have references if you want to talk. I am energetic and happy person , like to talk.

Yasemin currently works with me helping to take care of, well, just about everything. She is reliable, thorough, able to multitask, professional, and brings an upbeat positive "can do" energy. She is a self starter and often one step ahead of me! The responsibilities with us include driving my pre-teen kids to and from various activities, scheduling their appointments, grocery shopping, preparing dinner, laundry, dropping off/picking up dry cleaning, keeping the kitchen clean, and more. Yasemin is excellent at her work...I could go on and on as she has been a great fit for me and my family!

Rocio 2 reviews
$32 per hour for 1 child

I am new to urbansitter app so i will be updating my profile little by little. I am a reliable, compassionate, and hardworking professional with over 10 +years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I am patient, organized, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I enjoy planning educational activities, reading, outdoor play, and supporting children’s developmental milestones. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and excellent references. Families know me as someone who is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about helping children thrive.

It is my pleasure to wholeheartedly recommend Rocio. She is much more than a babysitter—she is a dedicated childcare professional who becomes a true partner in a child's growth and development. She has been an invaluable part of our family's life, caring for our two children through different stages of their development. With one child now 14 years old and the other 5 years old, she has consistently adapted her approach to meet their individual needs while providing the same level of love, patience, professionalism, and dedication. Throughout the years, she has created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where both of my children have felt loved, respected, and encouraged to grow. She is dependable, responsible, and attentive, always ensuring that their physical, emotional, and developmental needs are met. One of her greatest strengths is that she is fully bilingual in English and Spanish. She communicates fluently with both children and parents in either language and has provided support to our family in both English and Spanish based on our needs. Her ability to naturally incorporate both languages into daily interactions has been an incredible asset, fostering language development while ensuring clear communication with everyone involved. I'm impressed by her ability to adapt to our family's goals. Whenever we had a learning, developmental, or activity plan for our children, she implemented it consistently and effectively. She followed through with patience, creativity, and attention to detail, making learning enjoyable and part of everyday life. When our needs changed or we wanted to establish new routines and goals, she worked alongside us to develop personalized plans that reflected our parenting values and our children's unique personalities and developmental stages. Her thoughtful guidance and collaborative approach made her feel like a true partner in raising our children. Beyond her experience and professionalism, she has built a genuine trusting relationship with both of my children over the years, and they have always felt safe, supported, and cared for in her presence. She communicates openly with parents and exercises excellent judgment. Her reliability, flexibility, warmth, and commitment have given our family complete peace of mind. Without hesitation, I recommend Rocio to any family seeking an experienced, trustworthy, compassionate, organized, and bilingual caregiver. Any family would be fortunate to have her.

Booked by 6 families in South San Francisco, CA

I am currently a senior at San Francisco State University, about to graduate with my bachelors degree in cj studies! I have many experience taking care of my younger siblings and baby cousins (from the ages of 9mo to 9yo). I also have experience babysitting on urbansitter from the ages of 2-9 for about 2+ years. In total i've worked with babies for 3-4 years not including watching my younger siblings. I am independent and responsible especially with kids. I love making up stories, songs, dances and other activities with the kids. I feel that I could teach children if my assistance is needed and I could even work around my schedule to work more days if needed. At the moment i am looking for part time but am open to one time gigs as well!

Sara has been our regular babysitter for a few months now, and we look forward to having her in the house. She is kind, reliable, and has formed a wonderful connection with our children. Our little one adores her, and Sara ensures safety and happiness at all times and makes sure to keep our picky eater fed. His favorite game is playing make belief at home and sh is always happy to engage in it with him. She takes him on fun adventures to the playground, zoo, and the occasional ice cream treat. Her ability to handle a moody pre-teen is also impressive, and our older child has developed a good rapport with her. Sara's dedicated and and formed a genuine bond with our kids. We hope she'll continue to be our sitter for the long term. We highly recommend her to any parents in need of a trustworthy and caring babysitter!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
